State Loan Guarantee Program
Our loan guarantee program helps secure financing for small businesses who may otherwise not qualify for a traditional loan. State Loan Guarantees can guarantee up to 80% of the loan amount, not to exceed $5 million. Through this program, we work with banks to provide guarantees on their loans to small business owners. This does not mean everyone who applies for a direct loan from us is guaranteed to be approved!
